HON 111 - Civilizations: Past, Present and Future I


The four courses constituting Civilizations: Past, Present and Future follow a chronological trajectory from earliest recorded times through the present, examining philosophy, history, literature, the arts and natural, physical and social sciences. In particular, by incorporating primary sources, small group discussions and multiple perspectives, these courses explore the way in which civilizations and cultures have been developed and have interacted with others. (Offered in the Fall semester.)
